The Count Down has begun! Fanciful and daring, sweet and magical, what Teen Fantasy Fiction will you write? Join the Fun!

Great News! 10% of the profits from this anthology is going to Arts Corps A fantastic organization that helps teens through creativity and art programs. Keep submitting your fantasy fiction stories and make dreams come true: getting published and helping troubled teens. Know that your stories are helping to change lives.

This is the thirtieth day of the Writing Contest here at A Writer's Universe; the very last day. If you haven't sent in your story now is the time to get those fingers tapping and send it in. If you have longed to be published and like writing short stories, fantasy fiction or want the challenge to write it; if you aren't published and would like to be, this could be the best place to start! You want to reach your writing goals for this year as do I. We can make this happen together. Join the fun and let's make our dreams and goals come true!

These are the last writing prompts for this contest. You will have twenty-four hours to complete your story for the Teen Fantasy Fiction Writing Contest. Your story must be emailed before the next Midnight EST when that days prompts will end and the new writing prompts will be posted. Remember that there is sometimes a lag in email going through the web so don't wait until the last minute. You can read the rest of the guidelines here. Grab the 30 Stories in 30 DaysBadge to share on your page showing that you are participating in this Fantasy Fiction Writing Contest.

The Theme for this Writing Contest is... Shapeshifting/Shapeshifter Your story must have either a shapeshifter or some kind of shapeshifting theme. This is the magical component spoken of in the guidelines.

A Question that was asked - What classifies as Teen-specific fantasy?

Think of it as PG/PG13 and toss in some of the teen issues mixed with magic. Think about the angst and insecurities of teens and how much they do or don't want to fit in, how there is always someone picking on someone, and how the situations get resolved. The conflict can be something happening at home, at school or summer school (or any variation of the magical kind) or anywhere else you can imagine something magical happening with young people from 13 to 16 years old. (can go up to 18 yrs old) You can think of something you went through as a teen then put a magical twist. I am sure you can come up with lots of really great ideas.

Now for the Prompts...

Prompt 1

Prompt 2

The Dreamer

Prompt 3

You're not an ugly duckling, you are a swan. (you don't have to use the words it is more a theme)

Remember, this is the last of this series for this contest. It is your last chance to write for this contest. On this last day you can choose to write for the above prompts or you can choose any of the prompts from the contest. You can find the links under Archive on the right side of this page. Good Luck!

Welcome

Grab a cup of tea or coffee (oh what the heck, get a danish too!) and sit a spell. You might want to grab your notebook and pen because you never know when you will be inspired to write down a quote, or jot down a poem of your own. Words are like that, they take you on a journey and the next thing you know you are breathing life into your own magical world of words.
